Supersonic (ideally hypersonic) flight lets you get up to Max-Q before even igniting the booster so you save a lot of first stage mass for a small launcher.

Maybe it'd be worth it to fly a dedicated rescue mission then stick Boeing with the bill.

>The satellite being launched, NVS-02, is part of the second-generation satellites for the Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) system. NavIC is India’s own navigation system, similar to GPS, that provides accurate location and timing information. The new NVS-02 satellite will make NavIC more advanced by adding new features, like supporting the L1 frequency band, which will improve its services and reliability.
>The rocket used for this mission, GSLV-F15, will carry the NVS-02 satellite to a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO), which is a specific path in space designed for satellites.
>This mission is an important step in strengthening India’s regional navigation capabilities and ensuring better accuracy for applications like transportation, agriculture, and disaster management.

Most other nations never committed to using big segmented solids. Russia's never been very interested in solid fuel for anything; all of their bigger ICBMs still use hypergolic fuel. China thought about developing big solids for the CZ-9 about twenty years ago but that never went anywhere. Japan's only big solids were on the H-2 which got ditched quick in favor of smaller monolithics for the H-IIA. Europe had some ideas for using the Ariane 5's boosters as the core of a smaller companion launch vehicle, but that developed into the Vega which is boosterless and monolithic. The US Aerospace Corporation had a similar proposal in the early 70s based off of the Titan 3's UA1205s, but that wouldn't have needed any boosters to do its job of replacing the contemporary Atlas and Thor-Delta vehicles, and even if it had needed them Martin Marietta would have probably just used the Castor-series boosters that were already in common use.
India went for LRBs because the PSLV and the GSLV both use the same S139 booster as their first stage and adding more SRBs to it for the GSLV-mk2 wasn't a very viable idea.

Why would the US allow anyone but client states to join the settlement efforts? We've had a President declare Mars part of our manifest destiny, and no other country can compete in space. If Trump's second term goes merely "alright" then Vance is a shoe-in for two terms afterward, and he's a technocrat (read: Musk) puppet. At that point, the American Imperialism momentum will be too strong to stop until the colonies rebel.

Most likely. Because of how the crew rotations are set up Butch and Sunni cannot leave until Crew-10 arrives, otherwise the other crew would be stuck on the ISS without a lifeboat.
This would be a nonissue if the dedicated Crew Return Vehicle had not been budget cut,

They gave SpaceX the victory though? They're coming back on Dragon. Getting them back with a specially launched Dragon would be a tremendous waste of money, Dragon availability, and ISS schedule time, especially since Crew-9 launched with only two astronauts specifically for this and most of the wait has already elapsed anyways.

Liquid ammonia pipe radiators laid flat at one of Mars poles, some primary coolant like NaK?
ISS uses primary water, ammonia secondary, which disposes about 500 W per sq metre (75 kilowatt power over 150 sqm radiators).
Mars insolation about 500 W per sqm, at poles about 200 W at midday summer solistice, less at other times, and zero for half the year. Simplest lay-flat system suffices, steerable panels slight ly better but increaes complexity. Numbers +/- 20%.

Its a standard political puff piece. But also highlights that they were stranded for nearly a year. This is not normal procedure. No matter the puff piece from the previous admin trying to downplay it, the significance of the event lies in the result, of the 1 year of being stranded.
If Elon had his way, he would have suggested Crew Dragon bring those home immediately, but due to reasons that are hidden from us, the decision to move it to March of 2025 happened. Instead of June of 2024 or something.

It's common with midwits and dunning krugers. They operate using group think and group idea reinforcement. They don't think in terms of "is this right" they think in terms of "is this acceptable to think" so that leads them to always approach things in the context of group think... eg "we do" and never "I do."

Schrödinger's Musk: he has absolutely nothing to do with his companies as it's actually his engineers who do all the job, yet at the same time, he's solely responsible for everything that his companies do. Both of these states exist simultaneously until a new hit piece is observed.

They didn't. Only handful genuinely did, like Musk, that was driven by personal and ethical drives. Other tech companies ran on not trying to impede Trump this season. Most other companies are still strongly in the WEF DEI cult. Even facebook is still DEI captivated company, but its weakening due to fears that Trump might put Zuck behind bars.

Just makes the most sense. More space than a square, and easier to pressurise. But it avoids the design problems that arise from more complex shapes or circles. It's also divided into equilateral triangles, which can be designed into segments.

Because I want America to conquer the solar system and then collapse under the weight of its own power as the colonies rebel, and I do not care how it happens.
People always go "b-but that's against [insert governmental or cultural principal here]!" I don't care. I will never care. If America turns into a literal fascist empire, all the better, because we'll colonize more efficiently. Speed of execution matters, not the specifics of the political construct executing it. If the (now dying) American Left had been the more optimal strategy for expanding into space, I would have supported it, but it wasn't.
No modern combination of government and social mores will survive transplantation onto Mars, the Moon, the asteroid belt, or anywhere else. Those environments will change the social dynamics of the people who inhabit them because of the unique demands, limitations, and benefits those environments impose.

The US Army Blackhawk that collided with a passenger plane on Wednesday was on a training flight at the time of the incident, Joint Task Force-National Capitol Region media chief Heather Chairez tells CNN.
“We can confirm that the aircraft involved in tonight’s incident was an Army UH-60 helicopter from Bravo Company, 12th Aviation Battalion, out of Davison Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir during a training flight. We are working with local officials and will provide additional information once it becomes available.”

All governments are corrupt, it's just a scale of how extreme and brazen they are. And also it depends what they use their corruption for (in this case, good - for killing DEI, sending back immigrants, and defunding the FAA which means more Starship launches). Realistically, the only way we were ever getting to Mars was with a government that indirectly or directly supported the Starship program.

The Concorde was never profitable because, due to its sonic boom, it was relegated to cross ocean travel which greatly restricted its passenger base. Which combined with its ticket cost meant it ended up being too big and hard to fill.
Boom's aircraft redirects the pressure wave that creates the sonic boom which they hope will result in their supersonic airliner being allowed to travel over land. Doing so would greatly increase the potential amount of passengers they could fly.

It's a modern day Concorde, including only doing supersonic flight over oceans. Boom plans on making the aircraft as quiet as possible over populated areas by not having afterburners.
https://boomsupersonic.com/flyby/th
Boom is not trying to control sonic booms, their aircraft are nothing like the X-59.

It's just a little more complex than that. The FAA guys that got fired were installed by Boeing lobbying. You're operating under the assumption that every institution being cleaned out wasn't already infiltrated by some interest or another. The same is true for NASA and space, which you should already know if you browse here. There will probably be a lot of activity that looks a whole lot like corruption without the wider context.

also, I didn't see the FAA "not supporting" anything, I saw them do their jobs, which is to protect a shared resource: aerospace. but you fanatic retards clearly see delays as an attack on your beloved leader, because that's what the narrative he, the yes men around him and the bots he pays to operate push for.

When the leader of the FAA was called to testify about the delays, he suggested SpaceX adopt a safety culture more like Boeing. This was while the Starliner astronauts were in limbo and only a couple of years after two planes blew up due to negligence on the part of Boeing and the FAA. The FAA never even grounded the 737 max, Trump had to do it himself. They are clearing out the corruption right now, you're too fucking stupid to see it.

Berger literally has the best sources I've ever seen in a modern journalist. Nowadays they're all rumor mongering, listicle shitheads who don't know how to do anything else. Part of being a good journalist used to be to know how to cultivate a group of contacts who could give you the inside, real deal shit. For instance, I hate that fuck Jason Schreier, but he is pretty much the only legit guy in the entire video game industry. If he says something, and claims a source, that is almost certainly the facts of what is going on because his sources have learned to trust him over the years, and people have learned they can go to him and not get blackballed as he result since he won't name names. Which has to absolutely piss those fucks way the hell off since they'll do anything to blackball someone for any reason. Forget about exposing how fucked shit was behind the scenes on something cost hundreds of millions of dollars and took years to make.

batteries would help even with a purely nuclear electricity grid because nuclear plants work most efficiently with a static output day and night
demand is not static however, so building some grid batteries would allow you to have a static underlying power output with batteries taking care of the variability in demand

You need a reason to build that kind of infrastructure. You can move a retard amount of freight with regular size trains, especially considering the low gravity. We have giant industry here on urf running on standard gauge just fine. There's not really any need to scale it up that large, especially since you will be severely limited where you can build it due to terrain. Maybe move it up to a 3m wide gauge with double height cars, like Hitler's kino train.

There won't be anything naturally cleaning off the radioactive salts formed at the bottom. And even if you clean it, there are high chances of people breathing the leftover radioactive dust, which might be safe outside the skin, but not so much inside.

Radioactive salts clean themselves, its called decay sweety. After a few years most of the bad stuff is gone. Spray down the hole with epoxy resin to immobilize the rest of the dust and you have no problems.

The shape that will determine the best city on Mars will be determinant entirely on Mars' ability to produce huge sheets of meteorite hardened glass that are 10cm thick and being able to mount them into a dome. To ensure that nothing short of an intended orbital strike would be able to puncture the dome.

They look ridiculously complicated because prototype engines are overengineered and have an assload of sensors, so that when shit goes wrong, you get the maximum amount of data possible. That way, over the many years, you can make what looks like the Raptor 3.

This would be an ridiculously expensive megaproject here on urf with all our manufacturing and easy atmosphere to work in. It's not happening on Mars for a long time. Tunnels, mattress covered canyons and lava tubes will be the go to for a long time yet.

Dwelling in trannycord and turning inward to online spaces, the virtual, vidya etc is a kind of subversion of the Faustian spirit.
This world is fake and gay now. it's stagnant and suffocating, with nothing that can be done anymore - no freedom and opportunity to do anything anymore, nowhere to expand to, explore, and master. Mastering travel to and settlement of the moon, mars, asteroid belt and making space stations would maybe make things more interesting and dynamic again on earth too from the technical abilities gained. It's not going to be a retvrn to the times of small bands of conquerors but it's either that or shaking things up by setting things back with nuclear war or some other cataclysmic actual happening so you get piratical roving gangs and a madmax type world or something.
